| 12:59 | owen : Do you know where joshua is ? | |
| 13:04 | CGI960 | hi anyone here |
| 13:04 | i have installed koha and trying to do an admin user | |
| 13:04 | with a blank database | |
| 13:06 | toins | CGI960: default admin user is the login/pass for mysql |
| 13:07 | s/for/from/ | |
| 13:09 | CGI960 | i am not trying to login into mysql |
| 13:09 | i want to be admin for the koha library system module | |
| 13:10 | so that i can add users and members | |
| 13:10 | anyone to help me | |
| 13:12 | toins | CGI960: the default admin user's login and pass *for koha* are the same as mysl one. |
| 13:14 | owen | hdl: kados was travelling yesterday, so he may still be recovering |
| 13:15 | hdl | I can understand. |
| 13:15 | I didn't know where he travelled to or from... | |

| 14:24 | jaron | ok, installed pidgin and all's well |

| 16:17 | MotleyFool | Is this a good place/time to ask Koha questions? |
| 16:27 | jaron | there're koha folks around the world so you might find someone here at any hour |
| 16:27 | what's up? | |
| 16:27 | I might be able to help | |
| 16:28 | MotleyFool: and if you don't get a quick answer here you should email the listserv | |
| 16:29 | MotleyFool | Oh, hey. |
| 16:30 | Well, I have lots of Koha questions, so I might post a big long newsgroup posting. Here's one, though... | |
| 16:30 | When a client makes a "Reserve" request for a book, | |
| 16:31 | 1) Is there a way Koha can stop displaying the status of "Available" for anyone who does a search for that book? | |
| 16:31 | 2) How does Koha "notify" the librarian? i.e. what tells him/her to go get that book off the shelf and move it to the "Reservation Shelf" ? | |
| 16:33 | jaron | unfortunately I don't have enough experience with those parts of koha to know. |
| 16:34 | if it doesn't do #1 you could create a dummy patron and check it out to that account | |
| 16:35 | MotleyFool | Ok. No problem. |
| 16:35 | Hey, one other question... | |
| 16:35 | jaron | sure |
| 16:35 | MotleyFool | The Koha Showcase libraries I see (like NPL, http://search.athenscounty.lib.oh.us/) look beautiful |
| 16:36 | But my default installation of Koha doesn't look nearly as nice. Even with the NPL templates. | |
| 16:36 | Where do all those "beautiful" layouts come from? | |
| 16:36 | jaron | 1st that's the dev_week version not 2.2 so that might be why |
| 16:36 | I'm sure they do a lot of modifications of the templates | |
| 16:37 | and stylesheets | |
| 16:37 | dewey | stylesheets are gone from the OPAC |
| 16:37 | jaron | stylesheets |
| 16:37 | dewey | stylesheets are gone from the OPAC |
| 16:37 | jaron | really, dewey? |
| 16:37 | dewey | jaron: excuse me? |
| 16:37 | jaron | dewey's a bot |
| 16:37 | don't mind him | |
| 16:37 | MotleyFool | Ah. :-) |
| 16:38 | jaron | dewey: botsnack |
| 16:38 | dewey | :) |
| 16:38 | MotleyFool | I see that they're using something called "KohaZOOM" - is that different than Koha? Prettier? Not free? |
| 16:39 | I also see that SMFPL (http://opac.smfpl.org/) looks almost identical to NPL. :-( Wish mine looked that nice. | |
| 16:40 | jaron | it's free but more difficult to set up |
| 16:41 | a lot of the features in dev_week are in koha 3 which is under development | |
| 16:41 | you might try looking at your settings and trying different opac templates | |
| 16:42 | I'm not sure which are available now | |
| 16:43 | MotleyFool | Hmmm. Well, I can probably handle a difficult setup if need be. Do you know where I can download KohaZOOM then? |
| 16:43 | (I tried some different templates - they're not bad, but not quite as good as the "real" libraries have) | |
| 16:45 | jaron | might see here: http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?[…]ingzebraplugin226 |
| 16:46 | the other option that I would take would be to play with the stylesheets to get more what you want | |
| 16:46 | and then if you have to change the templates | |
| 16:46 | MotleyFool | Thank you. As I search around, I'm getting the idea that dev_week is probably the bleeding edge version of Koha? i.e. maybe not stable, but the latest/greatest version? |
| 16:46 | jaron | dev_week is a dead end |
| 16:47 | that's my understanding | |
| 16:47 | currently 3 is being developed | |
| 16:48 | MotleyFool | Ok. |
| 16:48 | Tricky stuff. :-) | |
| 16:49 | dbs | Hi MotleyFool: I _think_ KohaZOOM is a Liblime-specific product name |
| 16:50 | 3.0 is in the process of getting pulled together for a prerelease candidate | |
| 16:50 | jaron | dbs: I think you're correct on that. Right now though the KohaZOOM product is probably dev_week. |
| 16:50 | MotleyFool | I guess my question kinda boils down to "How do I get as nice a looking OPAC page as the Koha Showcase libraries have?" If the answers is "Spend money!" or "Do lots of custom CSS work", then I guess I may just try to live with 2.2.9's default or npl templates. :-) |
| 16:50 | dbs | jaron: right -- sort of a Koha 2.4 (by way of the zebra plugin) |
| 16:51 | jaron | you might ask on the list for other suggestions, but CSS and HTML template changes are all that I can come up with |
| 16:52 | dbs | MotleyFool: Right now there's a lot of discussion on the list about the 3.0 templates; I suspect that 3.0 will have nicer looking templates, but "Spend money / Do lots of custom work" is always the default answer :) |
| 16:52 | MotleyFool | But I want everything for free, and I want everyone else to do the work!!1 |
| 16:52 | :-) | |
| 16:54 | Ok. Where's the best place to find more help - posting to the mailing list, or to gmane.comp.misc.koha? (or are they the same?) | |
| 16:55 | jaron | I'd subscribe to the mailing list |
| 16:55 | gmane is a nice interface for reading back threads though | |
| 16:56 | MotleyFool | M'kay. |
| 16:56 | Thanks for all the help. | |
| 16:57 | jaron | sure good luck |
| 16:57 | hdl | jaron you're right. |
| 16:57 | dbs too. | |
